The wild cards here stands for RI and MP, two media industry powerhouses bent on suing their way back to more a favorable business model. For all those that say "Don't you believe people should be paid for the work they do?" my answer would be: Yes, if 1) These ridiculous lawsuits meant anything to the artists, songwriters and other creative persons who produced the work and not the CEO and shareholders of SONY who did nothing to influence the music/movies they are trying to protect and maybe never even heard of it and 2) If at the same time the industry was taking steps to give the buying public what it wants (GOOD digital distribution) and not sue it's on fan base.
This is an awesome article outlining the struggles of the people that these groups are actually suing. Of course it's all the college kids and single mothers that are bankrupting the music and movie industry and not lack of forward thinking business strategies and resistance to change in a world where they are pretty much useless.
From the article:
As Andersen and the attorney prepared their defense in 2006, his
conviction grew. Yes, Andersen had installed on her computer a software
program, KaZaA, for sharing music over the Net—one reason the RIAA
suspected her. But Andersen deleted the program after a few months and
didn't appear ever to have used it. Plus, some of the music Andersen
had supposedly shared online just didn't fit her taste. The songs
included rap tunes with titles like "I Stab People" and "Dope Nose". (Quote marks added for clarity)
